Product Description:

Based on AAC-RERC projects underway at the University of Nebraska, researchers are working to support the communication of people with cognitive-linguistic challenges, including adults with aphasia. They have found success using visual scenes (rather than isolated symbols or pictures) to represent meaning and to support interface navigation in high tech devices (Blackstone, 2005 Dietz, McKelvey, & Beukelman, 2006; Drager & Light, 2006; Shane, 2006). In their ASHA SID 12 Perspective article, Weissling and Beukelman note that features making visual scenes a desirable option for use in speech generating devices (SGDs) also make them attractive for consideration in the development of low-tech AAC strategies.
